celebrate


On-campus memos bearing happy news are pretty rare. Here's one: "After careful consideration, I have recommended that you be tenured at this time..."

NOTE TO FAMILY: this calls for sushi and cake, doesn't it?

Yo, Phil!

Congratulations! As that world famous philosopher Yogi Berra said, "When you see a fork in the road, take it!"

Cheers,
Gina

Thanks, Gina... and thanks for mentioning Yogi (a fellow St. Louisan) who also allegedly said:

"How can you hit and think at the same time?"

"I always thought that record would stand until it was broken."

"I don't know (if they were men or women fans running naked across the field). They had bags over their heads."

"I want to thank everyone for making this night necessary."

"I'm not going to buy my kids an encyclopedia. Let them walk to school like I did."

"In baseball, you don't know nothing."

"I never said most of the things I said."

"It gets late early out there."

"Nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded."

"You've got to be very careful if you don't know where you are going because you might not get there."

When ever I find a fork in the road a smile grows upon my face... for I know that "cake" is close at hand. =-)
